After Action Report

The Pistons downed the Suns 118-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
